A 19" CRT Monitor and a 26" CRT TV placed inches from eachother.

The monitor has lines running through it, very noticable against a white background. Gives me a headache.
Does the same thing if I put a 17" monitor right next to the 19" monitor.

Anything I can do, besides move them?

Are the cables for the two monitors right next to each other? I know they connect to the same videocard (I'm assuming they do) but try to separate the cables a little bit.

Also, try raising the refresh rate on them.

Yes, the radiation from the CRTs are interfering. The only solution is to shield them from each other.

If you can not make the distance bigger try to wrap one or both with Aluminum Foil (do not block the screen and ventilation slots.
